“ PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION: THE BASICS”

In logistics the most important thing is the distribution of the products, regardless of the products that we need to deliver, there needs to be a balance between the time and the restrictions that can be presented, since the priority is the satisfaction of the Customers.

To choose the most suitable mode of transport you should consider the budgets, the speed in the delivery of the products according to their characteristics defines their priority.

Securing the products according to their commercial value which must be agreed with the supplier or client to avoid misunderstandings, it is also required that they be monitored by a tracking system. In order for the products to not deteriorate the supplier must ensure that the shipments are properly packed and labeled minimizing risks. Transport is the movement of cargo in all the Foras that are known to be: aerial, maritime and terrestrial. By means of which inputs, raw materials and finished products are moved from one point to another according to a demand planning. If these three forms of product transfer are analyzed, it can be determined as follows: Air transport is carried out by means of freight or commercial aircraft, the sea transport is carried out by means of cargo ships, either for loose cargo or containers, and the terrestrial transport by means of trains and trucks of all type and size.

The transportation offer: this is related according to the geographical and economic needs. The final destination of the product depending on the requesting country or city is essential to define the transport to be used. Maritime transport has important relevance to the rest.
